• 4e40048 python: reuse precompiled SHAVE kernels
• 106b133 python: add compile-once kernel workflow
• eb92a18 python: allow source-free compiled kernel graphs
• 6fe1897 python: pass kernel overrides through prepared build
• f9bbfdf python: build compiled kernel graphs in one call
• 7786c1c npurun: accept precompiled SHAVE ELF
• d34db18 npurun: reuse native graph carriers
• 6d5c076 python: attach kernels to custom nodes
• 9022438 python: compile kernel source directly
• f4a376b python: add single-tensor inference helper
• d5bc4ab python: simplify shared tensor allocation
• e093427 graphinfer: add I32 graph execution
• b769647 graphinfer: add U8 graph execution
• 1d8687a graphinfer: add I8 graph execution

New ABI breakthrough

Latest breakthrough — 2026-10-12: Ordinary NPU graphs now accept signed I8 host tensors: copied and shared Squeeze/Unsqueeze, plus a parallel I8-to-FP32 output, matched exact NumPy oracles. Custom ACT kernels remain FP16/FP32. Evidence and limits.

Environment prober quick start

The npunlock-environment-prober-linux-x64.zip asset contains the Linux probe, the offline inspector, the bundle helper, and a ready-to-run add1-probe bundle. After extracting it:

python3 porting_probe.py verify add1-probe
./npunlock-linux-probe --bundle add1-probe --report add1-linux-report.json

To bundle another patched add-one graph, run:

python3 porting_probe.py create --graph patched-add1.blob --output-dir my-probe --producer-platform "Windows x64" --device "Meteor Lake / NPU3720" --driver-version "DRIVER_VERSION" --graph-compiler-version "8.3"

The prober is experimental: graph loading alone is not a compatibility result; compare the output with the bundled host oracle.

New ABI breakthrough

Latest breakthrough — 2026-10-07: One connected graph now composes custom FP32→FP16, two-input FP16, and FP16→FP32 kernels around an ordinary DPU MatMul, with exact host-oracle agreement after carrier and program reloads. Evidence and limits.

• cc37f0c patchblob: support scalar second inputs
• bdf1c01 build: normalize duplicate proxy variables

New ABI breakthrough

Latest breakthrough — 2026-10-02: Scalar broadcast inputs remain one-element ACT descriptors rather than expanded tensors; custom FP16 and FP32 kernels used them to match all 32 outputs exactly. Evidence and limits.
